BachelorClues and PaceCase reunite to break down the Top 10 Takeaways from Grant Ellis’ historic (and chaotic) Season 29 of The Bachelor. From record-low social media numbers and multiple Love Level 4s to Grant’s basketball/musical double life and the rise of full-blown villains, no stone is left unturned. The pit duo also dives into the shocking departure of longtime EPs Bennett Graebner and Claire Freeland, the mysterious promise of Goldens in Paradise, and the jaw-dropping announcement that there will be no Bachelorette.

BachelorClues flies solo as PaceCase embarks on a three-week wedding extravaganza, bringing you an in-depth breakdown of The Bachelor Season 29, Episode 7 – The Women Tell All. From lackluster gameplay to missed production opportunities, this episode had its highs and lows. Carolina stole the spotlight with her villainous embrace, donning a jacket emblazoned with her infamous catchphrase, but production fumbled the reveal. Dina and Carolina’s ongoing feud spilled from the show onto social media, revealing the blurred lines between reality and the game. Meanwhile, Grant navigated the hot seat with robotic precision, and a surprise Disney promo with the Magic Mirror felt more like a distraction than an enhancement. __Join the Pit on Patreon for more exclusive content and shows! : / gameofroses __Want coaching tips? email [email protected]__Follow us on TikTok: @gameofrosesFollow us on Instagram-Game of Roses: @gameofrosespodPacecase: @pacecaseBachelor Clues: @bachelorclues Hosted on Acast.
